Yamal outshines Messi, Ronaldo, Mbappé and Haaland with historic record

Lamine Yamal, star of FC Barcelona and the Spain national team, continues to deliver remarkable performances this season, having achieved a historic record for consecutive matches in which he has scored or assisted.

According to "Mundo Deportivo", Yamal has become the first player under 20 in the 21st century to play 9 consecutive matches in which he has scored or assisted a goal for his club and national team, before his streak ended against Croatia.

Yamal's numbers this season reflect his consistency, having scored 12 goals and assisted 7 with FC Barcelona and the Spain national team, despite previous criticism regarding his inability to translate his on-field dominance into numbers.

Yamal surpasses this figure compared to several of the biggest football stars in the modern era before reaching 20 years old, as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo reached 4 consecutive matches, while Kylian Mbappé scored or assisted in 6 consecutive matches, and Erling Haaland reached 8 matches.

Jadon Sancho and Florian Wirtz have both contributed to goals in 8 consecutive matches, but Yamal has raised the record to 9 matches, achieving an unprecedented streak for a player under 20 in the 21st century at the professional football level.
